A Multi-Priority Control of Asymmetric Coordination for Redundant Dual-Arm Robot

摘要

The paper develops a multi-priority control method of asymmetric coordination for a redundant dual-arm robot. A novel dual-arm coordination impedance is introduced to the multi-priority control, and then the performance of the object tracking and the redundant joints is improved by the regulation of the relative Cartesian errors between two arms. The control of asymmetric coordination is divided into the main task and the secondary task. The control of the main task can regulate the two end-effectors' errors and the relative errors by building the model of spatial parallel spring and damping (SPSDM), which establishes the dual-arm coordination impedance relation in Cartesian space. The control of the secondary task optimizes the performance of the redundant joint impedance and joint limit avoidance in null space. Finally, a typical asymmetric coordination experiment of peg-in-hole is carried out to verify the validity and feasibility of the proposed method. The results indicate that the proposed dual-arm coordination impedance can regulate the relative tracking errors between two objects directly, and in the context of the external impact force applied to the two end-effectors, the peg-in-hole dual-arm task can be achieved successfully.
